File u_pcfGetProperties-Check-string-boundaries.patch of Package libXfont.7747
Path-Mainline: To be upstreamed
Author: Michal Srb <msrb@suse.com>
Subject: pcfGetProperties: Check string boundaries.
References: bnc#1049692 CVE-2017-13722
Without the checks a malformed PCF file can cause the library to make
atom from random heap memory that was behind the `strings` buffer.
This may crash the process or leak information.
